Transcribed Image Text:The force \( F \) and the dimension \( d \) are **given**. Because of the rollers at \( C \), the supporting reaction there is normal to the inclined plane. What is the force in member \( AC \)?
**Diagram Description:**
The image shows a structural mechanism with three points labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). Member \( AC \) is inclined, and member \( BC \) is horizontal.
- \( F \) is applied vertically downward at point \( B \).
- The vertical distance from point \( B \) to the horizontal line through point \( A \) is \( 3d \).
- The horizontal distance from point \( C \) to point \( B \) is \( 5d \).
- There are rollers at point \( C \), and they are positioned on an inclined plane at a \( 45^\circ \) angle relative to the horizontal axis.
The task is to determine the force in member \( AC \).
